Sometimes, continuity errors in films are deliberate, to preserve the flow of a scene. It may escape detection at first glance, but repeated viewings will eventually bring the error to the surface.
Some of the James Bond films (especially the early ones) are rife with continuity errors. One example: in Diamonds Are Forever, the scene where James Bond and Tiffany Case do the balancing act with the '71 Mach 1 Mustang in the streets of downtown Las Vegas (actually a Hollywood backlot) could not be used as originally shot; the film shows the crowds waiting for the action scene across the street. The scene was reshot with the crowds gone, but the stunt drivers balanced the car on the OPPOSITE side coming out of the alleyway. To salvage the scene, an insert shot of James Bond and Tiffany Case (Sean Connery and Jill St. John) going through the flip was added.
